He owes me

"Why did you have to crash into Jingjing's car? That car didn't obstruct you in any way, so why did you hit it? Was it intentional? Why?" I shouted at Xu Yan, struggling with anger.

I raised my head and looked at the expanse of azure sky, the blazing sun was like fire, and the dazzling light burned my eyes, causing the tears in my eyes to finally pour out

You didn't cry that night, so why are you crying now? What, are you too excited to see me?

You owe me

"Why can't I hit you? Because of you, I have lost my friends and no longer trust anyone. Jingjing is my only friend now, yet because of you, we have quarreled. Xu Yan, you are a devil. I owe you nothing, so why do you treat me this way?" I shouted at him defiantly.

I still cannot bring myself to speak, my eyes feel sore and dry, and I do not know what to say.

When the black-soled sneakers with a yellow background appeared before my eyes, my mind was still in a daze

You do not allow me to speak, yet I must say, it was you who caused the death of the child star Yu, not me! The one who owes me is you, while I owe you nothing!

Shut up! You shut up!

He yelled at me hysterically, and I looked at him with a cold smile, seeing for the first time someone who could only use roaring to mask his inner self

At home, outside, and in front of others, I dared not speak it out loud; however, in front of the one who ruined my youth, I finally said it.

Xu Yan looked at me with a cold expression and said: "For no reason, because it looks disgusting. Clearly it's a pile of scrap metal, yet it still mixes among a group of private cars. She doesn't feel ashamed, but I feel ashamed for her. Didn't you see the expressions of the people around looking at your car?"

Xu Yan is the only person I know in this unfamiliar place, and also the person I least want to know

The injury that Lin Jiarui inflicted on Xu Yan did not truly harm him, but the truth that I revealed from my lips, which he was unaware of, deeply wounded him

It turns out he is also a coward, a coward who does not dare to face the truth

Xiao Jingjing was starting her electric tricycle, which had been damaged in the rear, while angrily berating me

Xiao Jingjing looked at me, sighed helplessly, and patted my shoulder, appearing to understand: "Alright, if you don't want to talk, I won't push you. You should head back to the dormitory; you've been tired all day, and look at your lips, they're turning pale. If you stay out any longer, you might get heatstroke. I should head back too; I still haven't picked up the old newspapers from the Dongbo family at the end of the alley today"

Someone squatted down in front of me, their cold fingers pinching my chin, forcing my head to be lifted. In my blurred vision, an image I did not wish to see appeared.

Why do you have to treat me this way? Why?

The audience that had just watched the performance has long since dispersed

Even devils have a vulnerable side, and there are times when they can be hurt

"Do you want to hit me? On what basis do you think you can hit me?"

My face was struck again, and Xu Yan looked at me with a cold and proud expression, his fists clenched tightly, his body trembling slightly without his conscious control

Jian Lening, you are simply unreasonable, you have disappointed me greatly. Who on earth is that guy, why are you protecting him so much? Is he your boyfriend? Is he someone you like, or who is he?

Xiao Jingjing frowned and let out a cold snort, shoving the money in her hand back to me. She looked at me sideways and said, "Do you really think I care about that little bit of money? You might as well keep it for yourself! Boarding costs money, and your parents don't give you much to begin with. Consider it my bad luck; if you don't want to tell me who that boy is, that's fine. I'll fix the car myself; I still have money for repairs. After all, I've been running a small business for quite some time."

Jian Le Ning, I warn you, do not appear before me again, otherwise I will not spare you

My hand ultimately did not reach Xu Yan, as it was intercepted by his eternally cold hands from a distance.

"You hit me? You actually dare to hit me!" Xu Yan's face showed a moment of stunned disbelief, and then he roared with a fierce expression. After that, he raised his hand and slapped me hard.

It is only because the world is too small that we are so bound...

Watching Xu Yan's dejected figure leave, I stood under the shade of the tree, holding myself tightly.

His strength was as heavy as ever, the slap on my face produced a crisp sound, and he had never shown any mercy in his strikes

Here, there are only Xu Yan and I, so I do not have to worry about anyone discovering our secret

I finally broke free from Xu Yan's grasp, mustered all my strength, and swung my hand to slap him hard.

A cold and sarcastic voice rang in my ears, and I clenched my teeth tightly, instinctively raising my fist towards that person

I can finally express the grievances that I have suppressed for several months in front of someone.

Bang

If possible, I hope to never see Xu Yan again

This is something I have long wanted to do to this person, but I have never had the opportunity.

Because you killed my sister

However, this is impossible, as my high school life has just begun

After seeing off Xiao Jingjing, I sat alone under a patch of shade, not returning to the dormitory

Jingjing, I ... ...

Your sister was not killed by me at all; she was in the late stages of cancer and did not have long to live. That is why she did such things, to leave some money for your mother before she died. It was all for the sake of making money; that is why she went to the bar and ultimately died in an accident. Your sister's death is not my fault at all. If anyone is to be blamed, it is you, as her brother, who is more at fault than I am. Aren't you wealthy? You drive such an expensive car; why don't you give some money to your biological mother? Your sister's death is not my fault at all. If anyone is to be blamed, it is you, as her brother, who is more at fault than I am. Aren't you wealthy? You drive such an expensive car; why don't you give some money to your biological mother? It doesn't have to be much, even just one-tenth of what you spend on your sports car, and your sister wouldn't have had to go out to make money and gotten into trouble! Xu Yan, the one at fault is you, with your self-righteousness. I am not at fault; I owe you nothing, nothing! The one who owes me is you, it is you!

I did not say anything, I simply took some money out of my pocket and stuffed it into Xiao Jingjing's hand: "Jingjing, don't ask, just use this money to fix the car first! I don't have much money on me, so I can only give you this for now. If it's not enough, I would appreciate it if you could cover the rest for the time being, and I will pay you back later."
